A collection of 19th-century photographs from China, held by the Museum of the American China Trade. "They show the common people of China farming, fishing, spinning, peddling, and acting as beasts of burden, pulling heavily loaded wheelbarrows or rickshaws" -- from the dust jacket. Chapters cover landscapes; inheritances; people; livelihoods; communications; treaty ports; and China's responses.
